My two cents here. I read some RepLadies posts back in the day when that subreddit was active (now they took it down after this article blew off) and it's not like you need a PhD to buy a fake Hermès bag.
People like Anna can easily find their way into Chinese sellers to source high quality replicas.
Anna's closet consists of:
- Discounted / outlet items from weird brands and collections (that Pucci print thing, anyone?)
- "Vintage" pieces which authenticity it's probably not there. Or items that are quite worn out. That YSL like Chanel white bag being the biggest example.
- Random linen pieces
- Lina Hadid gifts

- Replicas. Yes. Replicas. It could be that she's so silly about it that she buys "second hand" luxury items that are actually not the real thing. It could be that she found a tutorial on how to order to Chinese folks, unsure.
- Some real luxury items that are nothing special, just avarage "I want to look as old money" wannabe vibes.
- Feel free to add more options as I probably missed some
For a so called stylist, this is just awful.
I will keep calling out this scammer. She's basically wasting the money some woman paid her to "Level themselves up" on dodgy second hand luxury items or "brand new" online Hermès while living in a lent flat while taking 2 days holidays at some random Four Seassons in April, idk, it's all so ridiculous it's insane
